(A) Pulmonary wedge pressures prior to and following induction with general anaesthesia, following volume load manoeuver, then again at rest and repeat volume load following pericardiotomy. (B) The primary efficacy endpoint of change in pulmonary wedge pressure with volume loading was significantly reduced by pericardiotomy. (C, D) Changes in Kansas City Cardiomyopathy Questionnaire overall summary score (KCCQ-OSS) and peak oxygen consumption (VO2) during upright cycle ergometry stress testing.
